Red Star

The Red Star is only available in Super Mario Galaxy.

It's like a red Grand Star and contains the power of the Red Lumas.

If used, Mario will turn into Flying Mario, as you may have worked out, he can now fly.

It also gives the player a gravitational pull when they spin, which will pull in nearby Star Bits and Coins.

Red Stars don't have a huge use in Super Mario Galaxy, they are using to complete a Purple Coin challenge in the Gateway Galaxy.

Other than that they can be used in the Comet Observatory for exploration.

Rainbow Star

The Rainbow Star is Super Mario Galaxy's version of the Super Star.

When collected, Mario will turn into Rainbow Mario.

In this state, he becomes invincible, drops Star Bits by damaging enemies, can break through certain objects, runs faster and can jump further and higher.

The music and Mario's speed will slow down as the power-up wears off.

The only place a Rainbow Star can be found is in The Golden Chomp.
